An extension ladder's distance from the base of a building should be what proportion of it's total extension?
It is not a proportion. There needs to be aroubd a 75 degree angle from the ground to the base. If it is too flat the ladder can slip out from underneath you. If it is too steep you can tip back. There is usually an angle at the bottom of the ladder if that is flat on the ground then that should be the safest angle (75 degrees)
What angle is a ladder fixed at on scaffolding?
A ladder should be place at 1m form the base of the scaffold .
A 40 foot ladder is placed against a building the ladder forms a 75 degree angle with the ground How high up the building does the ladder reach?
115
A ladder is leaning against a wall If the angle is between the ground and the ladder at 60 degrees and the wall is 4m how long is the ladder Give exact values?
If the angle between the ladder and the ground is 60 deg, and you know the angle between the ground and the wall is 90 deg, then you have a 30-60-90 degree triangle, which is a common triangle. You should memorize this one. The commonest sides of this right triangle are 4-5-6, with the longest side being the hypoteneuse, in this case the ladder leaning from the ground to the wall. The wall is 4m high, the base of the ladder would be 5m out from the wall, and the length of the ladder is 6m.
what- a ladder rests against a building at an angle as shown, with endpoints (-2,0 ) and (0,8). what is the slope of the ladder?
4
What is the safest angle for a ladder to prevent accidents and ensure stability?
The safest angle for a ladder is about 75 degrees from the ground. This angle helps prevent accidents and ensures stability while using the ladder.

What is the safest ladder angle to prevent accidents and ensure stability while working at heights?
The safest ladder angle to prevent accidents and ensure stability while working at heights is about 75 degrees. This angle provides a good balance between stability and ease of use, reducing the risk of the ladder tipping over.
When A 12 foot extension ladder is placed against a wall To achieve the proper climbing angle approximately how far should the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the wall?
3 FEET
A 15 metre long ladder is placed against a wall in such a way from the wall up to what height does the ladder reach the wall?
15 meters, or less, depending on the angle.
A painter is standing at the base of a ladder that is leaning against the side of a house What angle do the ladder and the house form?
It can be any angle that is more than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees. <><><> It will be an ACUTE angle, and if the ladder is placed properly (1 ft out for each 4 ft up) the angle between wall and ladder will be ABOUT 18 degrees.

A 40 foot ladder is placed against a building the ladder forms a 75 degree angle with the ground How high up the building does the ladder reach?
115
When A 12-foot extension ladder is placed against a wall To achieve the proper climbing angle approximately how far should the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the wall?
You may set the correct distance by trying different angles so that you feel confortable when climbing the ladder. Approximately between 80 to 130 cm. But it is the correct angle that can tell you the adequate distance from the wall. Only by climbing a ladder you know it. I advise you to put a piece of rubber under the ladder so that it can't slip.
What is safe angle of inclination of ladder?
About 15 degrees. Many, if not most, extension ladders today have a sticker on the side that shows a line that should be parallel to the ground when the ladder is at the proper safe angle.
A firefighter places a ladder against a building The ladder forms a 47 angle with the ground What is the measure of the angle between the ladder and the building?
43 degresses
What is the proper angle for setting up an extension ladder?
The proper angle for setting up an extension ladder is about 75 degrees. This angle provides stability and safety while climbing.
